"
I have been
painting for more than 30 years. My interest was awakened when I, as a young
girl, visited Arles for a few days to see where Vincent Van Gogh, my favorite
painter, used to live. That visit lighted my desire to paint and following five
years, I came to participate in several courses and workshops. A need to find
my own style gave me the courage to let myself be guided by my unconscious, the
mixture of colors on the canvas and the music that inspired me.

Every year
for the past 25 years, I have traveled to India and this has of course inspired
me a lot. Memories from my childhood, from the Northern Sweden, are another
important inspiration source; the great forests, mountains, wild animals
and magical tales are often found on my canvases.
My
paintings derive from different worlds from the depths of myself and they speak
with the viewer's subconscious and create a peaceful feeling.

Through my
paintings, I try to convey a message of Peace, love" and joy.
